It is so easy to surround yourself with people who drain your energy by their negativity. Especially when you are in that kind of space yourself. Try to avoid them consciously for a while, and when your energy goes up, you will see that you do not want to be with those people anymore.

While many gurus suggest visualizing with detailed specifics, including dates and precise outcomes, I believe the Universe knows best when and how you should receive something. Visualize the feeling, trust, and let go, that's the key.

But I live in Bali, so it is too hot to walk. My pool is unfit for swimming since it is a duck pond now. I do have these moments where I do yoga every morning, but somehow, at one point, I either forget or life gets in the way. See? I am human, and I have all the excuses not to do something that I know will benefit me.

Some nights, I stared at the page for over an hour, racking my brain
for just three things. I would end up jotting down things like: "The baby is sleeping," "The sun came out," and "I had coffee this morning."

I could have let this situation consume me, made it about my worth, or doubted my ability to teach others about positive focus. Instead, I saw it as confirmation that growth is an ongoing process, not a destination.

When the renovations were complete, I walked through the house and realized it matched the feelings from my visualization perfectly.

For years, I struggled to feel grateful for my body. I would cringe when people asked if I was pregnant, especially since my youngest is now 16! But over time, I reframed these moments. Instead of feeling hurt, I began to see it as a compliment.
